Chapter 149 Insue

Ximenqing didn't wait too long, and Wang An came back. Ximenqing was very worried. He really wanted to judge whether the situation was good or bad through Wang An, who had not yet spoken, and then he suddenly remembered that Wang An himself did not tell the truth at all. How could he convey the blessing with his expression?

"Wang An, how's it going?" Ximenqing sat on the chair, still holding the cold tea bowl in his hand.

"I went back to my boss, but I didn't see any martial arts." Wang An replied.

This sentence gave Ximenqing a feeling of five thunderbolts. Although this is the answer he has predicted many times in his mind, when Wang An really answered this, Ximen Qing really felt that his doomsday was approaching little by little. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt something wrong. Wang An only said that Wu Dalang was not in Guihua Tower, but did not say that Wu Dalang was dead or something, otherwise he would definitely explain it as soon as he opened his mouth.

However, it is said that Mochou Hall is very angry. If Wu Song doesn't know that Wu Dalang went to Guihualou at all, it is impossible to associate the corpse with Wu Da. No, this inference is true for ordinary people, but Wu Song is the capital of Yanggu. Such a big thing happened in Yanggu County, and it must be necessary to clean up the scene and transport the bones of the dead back to the Yanggu County office for inspection and filing. Although after the death of An Daoman, Yanggu's new work has not been in place for a long time, and many officials have died. But a day is enough for them to finish these things. The most important thing is that Wu Da's figure is shorter than ordinary people, which is not difficult to judge from the corpse. As long as it is not burned, there is no residue left. With the familiarity of Wu Song and Wu Da who have lived together for so many years, it must be recognized. So... If Guihua Building doesn't have a funeral, does it mean that Wuhan University is fine? Did he successfully escape the fire? For a moment, Ximenqing's heart was scratching his heart, and all kinds of ideas gathered in his heart.

"Tect in detail what's going on." Ximen Qing knew that he could never think of an answer by thinking so much, or he still needed to listen to Wang An's careful narration.

"Go back to the owner's house. After going out, he went straight to the Guihua Building. In order not to wait too long, I rode the horse of the medicine shop." When Wang An said this, he looked at Ximenqing.

Ximen Qing knew that this was Wang An's hope to get his own affirmation. Normally, riding is not a big deal, and this is a key and urgent job, which is even more understandable. However, Wang An asked himself for this, which showed respect. Ximenqing's heart felt particularly bright, and his anxiety was also reduced a lot. He nodded to Wang An: "This is natural. When you left, I forgot to tell you to use horses by yourself. You don't have to ask me. After all, you will also be a leader among our people in the future, and you should have your own majesty and power." Ximen Qing put his hand up and motioned Wang An to continue.

"After I rode to Guihua Building, I thought that since my owner would not let me reveal my identity, the best way was to pretend to be a diner, so that it would be more reasonable to meet Wuda University. Although my clothes are not gorgeous, the horses of our Ximen Pharmacy are quite handsome. Naturally, the osmanthus building wanted to look up and let me into the lobby for good reception. I casually ordered two dishes, a pot of wine, and watched while drinking. I didn't ask my staff to help me find martial arts immediately, which was too conspicuous and contrary to the original intention of my boss. Guihua Building does not have a shopkeeper now. Even if it is an owner and shopkeeper, as far as I know, even the internal name of Guihua Building is quite chaotic, such as martial arts. However, no matter what the martial artist is called, it is reasonable that he should visit the Guihua Building in the morning, such as talking to the accountant and the diners, which is also what a buyer must do. When I entered the door, I saw some scattered silver money on the table of the curved ruler counter. From this point of view, it should be said that Wu Da must not have come yet. If he comes, the silver will certainly be sorted out and will not be so scattered. Based on this, I chose to order food in Guihualou and wait for the arrival of Wuhan University. I think it's more natural. Wang An said this and stopped again and looked at Ximen Qing.

Ximenqing felt that Wang An's narrative was indeed very detailed, and even explained the reason clearly, which made him have no room to express any opinions other than praise. Maybe Wang An's pause just wants to get his own praise, or is this the cost of ordering in Guihualou? No, I have promised him a good future. If he were a shrewd person, he would not cause such trouble in these small problems. In addition, if he really wanted this money, he should say, "In order to let those guys take a high look and ask the martial arts outside to meet me later, I specially ordered a Some valuable dishes." If Wang An says so, I have to give money, because what he said is reasonable. But he just ordered a dish, and it seems that this person is only thoughtful. He is used to talking about things, and he is not a person who can't compete with each other. It seems that I think too much. Ximen Qing thought of this and nodded gently: "Wang An, you have done a good job. It seems that I didn't misread the wrong person. Go on, and then what happened to Guihualou? How do you know that Wuda is not in Guihualou?

After all, Wang An has not been there for a long time. If you just rely on waiting to judge, he will not come back until noon. Ximen Qing is also interested in learning about Wang An's method and knowing how to obtain this information can make it easier for him to determine the current situation.

"There are not many people in Guihua Building. I think it's just after breakfast. Now the weather is cold and the days are short. Except for the few guests who stay in Guihua Tower who have breakfast there, there are not many guests when they miss the meal. At that time, there were few diners in the lobby, but there were many diners. In other words, there were more diners than diners. At that time, I didn't think it was a good idea to wait like this. After all, you were still waiting for news, so I pulled a guy to talk to him.

"What did you talk about? Didn't you reveal your identity?" Ximenqing interrupted nervously. In fact, when Wang An said this, there was no pause, but Ximen Qing's nerves were very allergic. Hearing such a plot, he couldn't help but interrupt and ask. The moment he said it, Ximen Qing regretted it. This kind of inquiry was meaningless and would only make Wang An more doubt the purpose of Ximen Qing's sending him out. Of course, Ximen Qing will not explain. Explaining at this time is tantamount to emphasizing again.

"Oh, without the identity of the slope, I haven't forgotten the boss's instructions." Wang An's tone did not change at all. He didn't seem to have the idea of Ximenqing's uneasiness, which made Ximenqing breathe a long sigh of relief. I was talking to that guy with another identity. As an official of a rich family, I am close to that guy. After all, I came here on a tall horse, which also added some credibility to my identity. Recently, many officials have died in the county government. Yanggu people all know that it is impossible to complete the usual work. I heard that the fire in Rouge Lane on the fifteenth night, when the county government was dealing with the scene, it seemed that people were overstretched..."

Ximenqing's head buzzed, Rouge Lane and Rouge Lane. In the final analysis, this is still the trouble he caused. If you don't want to see Wu Da make a fool of himself, don't give him food**, wait there, let him play with one or two girls, and send him home. What a merit. Maybe it may really make Wu Da in Yanggu. Help yourself with conscription. Now it's really all over. I didn't expect it to be all done, but I still put myself unlucky in the end. Even Wang An knew about the rouge alley fire. It seems that this matter must have spread all over Yanggu, and I don't know how everyone talked about it. Ximen Qing did not dare to let himself be distracted for too long, which would make Wang An see the clues. He calmed down and continued to listen to Wang An.

"I hinted to the man that I wanted to contact Wu Song through him and tell him that my master wanted to give the young master a job in the government. After all, it is much better to work in the government than to have a meal at home or hang out on the street. I guess there should be many people who want to contact Wu Song in a similar way to achieve the purpose of stuffing people into the government. Sure enough, the guy immediately understood what I meant, but he told me that Wu Song did come to Osmanthus Tower often, but he hasn't been here much in recent days. In addition, it is really difficult for their ordinary guys to talk to Wu Song. This kind of thing is really helpless. I asked him at that time, who could help me do this? The clerk told me that there were probably three people in the Osmanthus Building who could speak for me. One is Liu Lin, the accountant, the other is Zhang Shu, and the other is the shopkeeper Wu Da.

Wang An stopped slightly and took a breath and continued, "This is exactly what I want to ask, but I thought it might be inappropriate to see Wu Da directly and ask a small guy to help convey it. So I said, 'I dare not climb high outside the martial arts, can you introduce Liu's account room to me?'

But the clerk said, 'Liu's account has not been in charge of Guihua Building in the past two days, so that no one dares to move the water on the account now. Seeing that it's time to pay, everyone is also very anxious.'

As soon as I saw that Liu Lin still couldn't make an appointment, I could only find a way to see Wu Da directly, so I said, 'After all, this matter is related to the future of our young master. It may be a little too hasty to communicate with the man named Zhang Shu. I still take the liberty of wanting to see the martial arts. I know it's rude, but don't worry, brother, as long as I can see the martial arts, I'll give you more money.

I believe that no man is unmoved by this kind of promise, but the man shook his head: 'I really want to take the silver, but I'm afraid I can't help. Yesterday, our shopkeeper didn't come to the Osmanthus Building. You didn't see that it hasn't come at this time today. You just said that it would be hasty to find Zhang Shu, but now you can't even find it. Zhang Shu also didn't come all day yesterday, so if you want to find Wu Song, you'd better go straight to his house. I have also seen Wudutou. Although it is relatively difficult to talk in the legend, it is actually relatively approachable. Now the government really needs people. As long as your young master is not short of arms and legs, but sincere, I believe it will be the same. Sorry, this guest officer, I have to do something else, otherwise if the master comes back suddenly, I can't afford to blame him.

After saying that, the guy left my table. I thought about it. If what this guy said is not false, that is to say, the key figures of Guihua Tower have rarely appeared in Guihua Tower recently. Maybe they have something important to deal with, so I can almost conclude that the martial arts officer will not appear in Guihua Tower in a short time and disguise his whereabouts after eating a few bites of vegetables, I came back on horseback.

This is the passage, boss." After saying that, Wang An stood with his hand down, as if waiting for Ximenqing's next order.

"You did a good job. Go down and I'll call you again if there is anything." Ximenqing waved his hand. Things here no longer need Wang An. Things are very chaotic. Ximenqing feels that he needs to think about it. Then he suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait."

"The owner." Wang An stopped to leave.

"After selling the precious medicinal herbs you sorted out, you will leave a part of the money as a supplement to your life. I also know that you have been to Ximen Pharmacy for many years. Just now you said that you are an official of a large family. Since you are an official, you have to have to have some money to fill your facade. I, Ximenqing, am not a stingy person. Go ahead." Ximenqing waved his hand again.

"Thank you." Wang An turned around and left the inner hall.

Ximenqing's heart is like a mirror. He doesn't know much about medicinal herbs at all. He doesn't even know the exact number of those precious medicinal herbs, and he really doesn't have the heart to be busy selling medicinal herbs now, that is to say, if Wang An wants to embezzle some money, let alone punish them. Punishment, it is likely that Ximen Qing will never know. It's better to be a favor at this time and give it to Wang An. When Wang An took it himself, he was embarrassed to take too much. After all, people's hearts are fleshy. He has to behave well when I treat him so truthfully. Ximenqing is very satisfied with his behavior of buying people's hearts with smooth water.

The rest is about what happened to Guihualou and the Wu family. Wang An should not have told a lie, because if he told a lie, he could not know that Liu Lin and Zhang Shu were also Wu Song's cronies. Liu Lin can also understand that the account room of Guihua Building for many years has been there since Wu University did not come to Yanggu, and he is also quite famous in the Yanggu business community. But Zhang Shu, this is an ordinary guy. I know that this person is powerful, or because of what happened on the night of November 14th, Zhang Shu tried to save himself, and in Wu Song's home, he also showed his skills. It seems that the relationship with Wu Song is really good. Wang An was not in Wu's house that night, and when it was rumored later, people only said how brave Wu Song was and did not bring Zhang Shu in. On this point, Ximen Qing also understands that when people tell the stories of heroes, they don't want heroes to have a helper, which will weaken many legends that only belong to heroes.

So Wang An can't make up Zhang Shu's name anyway. He must be telling the truth.

In Wang An's narration, there is another thing that makes Ximen Qing very concerned about, that is, the words used to describe the whereabouts of Wu University. The original words are "Our shopkeeper didn't come to the Osmanthus Building yesterday". Yesterday was the 16th day of the first lunar month. Mochou Hall caught fire in the middle of the night before yesterday, that is to say, on the 15th day of the first lunar month. The guy said that Wuhan University did not come on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and did not say that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month did not come, which was a key point.

Although, when Wu Da arrived at his place in the afternoon, it was likely to go directly from Guihua Tower. But generally speaking, in a large place like Guihua Building, it is necessary to make two accounts in the morning and evening, walk and purchase in the morning, and record the accounts in the evening. That is to say, Wuhan University must appear once in the evening to calculate today's turnover and explain some things. The guy naturally said what happened on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There is no special explanation. It should be explained that what happened that night was normal. That is to say, Wu University is likely to return to the Osmanthus Building on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but it didn't appear yesterday and this morning. If so, nothing would have happened to Wu Da in the fire of Mochou Hall, and he would have escaped the disaster.

Of course, Wang An just casually pulled a clerk in Guihua Building. It is not difficult to see from the man's words that he is not an important role. The accounting is likely to have nothing to do with him, and it is normal not to know. Therefore, this description cannot be completely regarded as a safe signal.

But what does the collective disappearance of Liu Lin and Zhang Shu represent? If something really happened to Wu Da, and Wu Song decided not to mourn, what is the best way to hide it for Guihualou? Liu Lin must be there, because only when Liu Lin is there can the daily operation of Guihua Building continue. Everyone knows that Wuhan University has no key role in the operation of Guihua Building. Only in this way can it blind people like me. Now even Zhang Shu is gone, that is to say... It is very likely that Liu Lin and Zhang Shu suddenly disappeared because of the matter of Wu Da.

What can it be if it's not Wu University? Then there is only one possibility left. Liu Lin and Zhang Shu are both Wu Song's cronies. They disappeared at the same time. Is it... Wu Song's accident? If something happened to Wu Song, that would be great. It would be better for Wu Song and Wu Da to die together. In this way, no one will come to trouble me. If I can see Wu Song's tragic end before defecting to the army, it is really the best for me.
